Founded almost 50 years ago as a school for the area's children with intellectual disabilities, KFI has changed and expanded to become a regional provider of services to people with disabilities, recognized and awarded for excellence. Fifty years ago the emphasis was keeping those with significant intellectual disabilities out of institutions; now the effort is in helping people with disabilities become active members of their communities, to live, work and socialize where and how other members of the community do.

John O'Brien's life work has been a crucial part of KFI's journey and an inspiration for the values we hold dear.
"People are not a problem to be solved. They are a mystery to be inspired by wonder. My first step is to find somebody to listen to."

Can you find LyAnn Grogan in this photo? She was on the move in DC this week, advocating for the people we support and our DSPs!

Yesterday we went to Capitol Hill with ANCOR members, self-advocates and DSP Ambassadors for over 300 congressional meetings!

In meetings with members of Congress across the country—from Maine to Alaska—we educated them about, and advocated for, home and community-based services.

Your story matters. Your voice makes a difference. Our collective advocacy is powerful. Thank you!

July is Disability Pride Month. Here is an explanation of why we celebrate.
🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚

Image description: a colorful educational infographic asks, “Why Do We Celebrate Disability Pride?” The title appears in large, bold, dark gray letters at the top of a white rounded rectangle centered on a dark gray background. Behind the white panel are diagonal stripes in the colors of the Disability Pride flag: green, light blue, white, yellow, and muted red.

Four rounded colored boxes list the reasons:

Green box: “In commemoration of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990.”

Light blue box: “To honor the experiences, achievements, and history of the disabled community.”

Yellow box: “To achieve solidarity through community visibility and shared social identity.”

Muted red box: “To challenge ableist stereotypes, reframing disability as part of human diversity rather than tragedy.”

In the bottom-left corner of the graphic, outside the white panel, is the creator’s handle, , in bold white text.
